Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] No UHD blocks in GNURadio

[Michael Berman]

Sara,

The GNURadio installation tells you at the end of that long printout that it skipped over gr-uhd, which is the block you are looking for.  This needs to be installed prior to installing GNURadio, so that way GNURadio knows of it's existence and can properly build against it.  Since you installed the UHD drivers after GNURadio, you need to uninstall and re-install GNURadio.  This should fix your problem.

Based on the information provided above, cd to ~/gnuradio/gnuradio/build and run make uninstall followed by make and then sudo make install once more.  You need to rebuild in order to get the gr-uhd features that weren't built during the first install.  To make this go a little faster, i'd recommend using the -j flag with make; I generally use the number of CPU cores I have + 1 ( if i'm on a quad core machine, I would call 'make -j 5').

I installed GNU on ubuntu 12.04 lts before installing UHD from http://gnuradio.org/redmine/projects/gnuradio/wiki/UbuntuInstall

by running the following commands:

sudo apt-get -y install git-core autoconf automake  libtool g++ python-dev swig \
pkg-config libboost1.48-all-dev libfftw3-dev libcppunit-dev libgsl0-dev \
libusb-dev sdcc libsdl1.2-dev python-wxgtk2.8 python-numpy \
python-cheetah python-lxml doxygen python-qt4 python-qwt5-qt4 libxi-dev \
libqt4-opengl-dev libqwt5-qt4-dev libfontconfig1-dev libxrender-dev

git clone http://gnuradio.org/git/gnuradio.git
cd gnuradio
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../
make

make test
sudo make install

But I didn't find UHD blocks when I open gnu by running "gnuradio-companion" in terminal.
So I installed UHD from http://code.ettus.com/redmine/ettus/projects/uhd/wiki/GNURadio_Linux from the unstable repositories.

I wanted to check if the GNU & UHD are installed or not so I ran in terminal :
address@hidden:~$ dpkg -l uhd
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend
|/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name                           Version                        Description
+++-==============================-==============================-============================================================================
rc  uhd                            003.007.000-1-stable           Ettus Research - USRP Hardware Driver

address@hidden:~$ dpkg -l  gnuradio
No packages found matching gnuradio.

Does this mean that UHD is installed but GNU isn't ?!! (THIS IS MY FIRST QUESTION)
But I can run GNU from terminal , how it is written that No packages found!!

I decided to build again GNU after installing UHD so I ran "cmake../" and "make" commands .. But the output of "cmake ../ " shows that gr-uhd is a disabled component!! So I won't find UHD blocks in GNU again. What can I do ? (THIS IS MY SECOND QUESTION)

Here is the output of cmake .. Hope that anyone can help me :) Thanks.
